Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a computer-implemented invention for numerical modeling of a geological structure. The present invention solves the problem providing a method for use in the numerical simulation of the in-situ stress in a geological structure represented by a domain Ω located under its external ground surface S. The method comprises mainly two steps: determining a first state of in-situ stress in the domain Ω by means of six stress components and a second step determining a correction of the first state of stress in order to satisfy the equilibrium equation.
